That's the poem that came out of this unfortunate frustration since I didn't get my writing done as I had wanted. As far as #novelpi goes for today, I neglected to complete my word count task coming in way under 100 words for the day. So, this is strike one & hopefully my last.

If I may, use my freeze ray to stop my disregard and start over tomorrow.

Your "comment" - comment says that "I'm more like a turtle with my responses - slow but steady."..... Me too....... I'm such a slow reader... especially with poetry. I have to read them several times because I miss things...... and with those incredibly intelligent poets I have to go look stuff up on Wikipedia to make sure I'm not missing something else. OMG... This is my first Tuesday night with dVerse Poets and I'm overwhelmed... I've been sitting here for four hours and I'm only up to number 33, you... This will take me all week! But I wanted to write to you about your poem because it just brought an incredibly special memory back to me of a creative writing professor I had in my freshman year.... God she was so wonderful, I loved her. She inspired me..... (but unwittingly... when she consciously tried to inspire me.. that kind of sucked.... Have you ever known someone like that? Their real inside self is so lovely, so engrossing, that by itself it is inspiring?) Anyway she taught me about self-reflection, which I think is what your poem is about. I mean she didn't "teach" me about reflection, that is something we all do naturally, I think. She just just gave it a name for me, and taught me how to utilize it in my creativity. And when I read your poem it made me think of her, how she taught me that reflection, even the kind you are talking about in your poem, are so important to us. What a lovely memory of her. And a lovely poem.... Thank you......

I would like to thank each of you for your beautiful comments! You brightened me and have encouraged me so much. I plan to comment on your blog next, as I visit each of you. I'm looking forward to reading what you've written.

About this blog

Welcome Readers~to my blog! A tiny extension of myself and my life. Here, I'll share this journey through my top passions in my life - reading, writing, and creating. You can expect to read poetry, view my papercrafts and read design related posts. Every once in a while, I hope you'll grasp an honest feel of my heart. If you haven't noticed, I love flamingos! I think they are beautiful birds. *Thanks for your attention.*

She is pure Alice in Wonderland, and her appearance and demeanor are a nicely judged mix of the Red Queen and a flamingo.
